I bought ammo in a caliber I don’t have a gun for?

[UC_Guy 1971]

What the heck is wrong with me? I was at Ace Hardware and was looking at ammo and saw that they were trying to get rid of a bunch of .25 ACP.

And what happens when you buy ammo for a gun you don't have; that's right, you start making bad decisions on auction sites.

Its a slippery slope for which I fully blame Ace Hardware.

I'll know if my bid goes through in the next two days. WTH?

Anybody ever shoot a F.I.E. Titan?

Maybe try for a Beretta. I think youll be happier

Hi,

That's as good of a reason as any to buy a new gun.


Thank you for your indulgence,

That's how we ended up with a 380 auto, mom bought 380 ammo for my .308! Close enough......

I done that more than once, first time was years ago i bought 1000 rounds of military surplus 30-06. now i did have a couple bolt guns but not for the 1000 rounds.

my cousin bought her husband 308win ammo for a present...............he's like, honey i don't have 308win rifles........maybe she thought he needed a new rifle ......................that lead to me letting him tryout that odg ar i've posted about..............he wanted 1 exactly what i had, so i waited for sales and pieced 1 together on/with the exact same brand of parts.............well, i made 2 (20" & 22")

Now we all know you had enough parts to build 100 of them. OK, OK, maybe more.

I don't have enough barrels to build that many , do have enough receivers and other parts

So...only 99 barrels then?

If I can do it with FAL's, surely you can do it with AR's

I dunno bout that, he would have to have enough to supply the armed forces here and a couple other countries.

Those aren't bad decisions. Those are BAD decisions. As my mom always said, what's done is done, what's next. I'd be sure that's always either the offside backup or the backup to the backup. YMWV

Post the unnecessary purchase online for what you paid, lesson learned.

dont remember what i paid for that 1000 rounds of 30-06 back in the early 80.s but i know it wouldn't even be close if bought today. surplus ammo might be hard to find too.

 

[Blackmesa96]

The Colt Junior is an exceptional (although not inexpensive) pistol.

.25 isn't exactly overwhelming, although I would suspect it to work should the need to Mo Greene someone present itself.

Would love to find a deal on .25 ammo, myself. .60 cents a round ain't that attractive.
